I can answer a handful of e-mails. I can make a smoothie or my morning matcha (though it inexplicably takes me longer to drink the actual them). I can pack for a weekend away, even though I begin packing a week in advance.

Most importantly, I can apply my makeup.

Granted, there are several factors that have helped me shave down my makeup time. Getting my eyebrows microbladed saves me a solid 5 minutes from filling in my eyebrows every day. I spend much more time on my overall skincare routine (evening exfoliation and masks, monthly facials, triple cleansing on occasion). My overall health efforts – drinking 100+ ounces of water a day, exercising regularly, eating well – also contribute to my skin’s health.

It’s worth it. Especially on the mornings I’m running late and have to apply my makeup in a Lyft.
